If you have received a traffic infraction, you may be eligible for a deferral. By successfully completing a deferral, the Court will not report your ticket to the Department of Licensing (DOL). You may defer only one moving infraction and only one non-moving infraction each seven years. The length of deferral is up to two years. To complete your deferral, you will be required to pay an administrative fee. If you commit a new traffic infraction at any location during your deferral or fail to pay the administrative fee, the Court will report your deferred ticket as a conviction to DOL. Two infractions listed below do not qualify for this Court's deferral program. Additionally, the infraction of Operating a Motor Vehicle without Liability Insurance may be deferred only if you show proof that you are now insured at the time you request a deferral.

How do I ask the court to defer my infraction?
You must file a Request to Defer Traffic Infraction within 15 days of receipt of the violation you wish to have deferred. When the Court receives your Request to Defer, it will be reviewed by a judge and, if appropriate, an Order will be signed setting conditions and costs. A copy of the signed Order will be mailed to you.

What does it cost to defer my infraction?
You must pay an Administrative Fee ranging from $150 to $250.

What if I don't pay the administrative fee as scheduled, or commit a new traffic infraction?
The Court will end your deferral and will report to DOL that you committed your traffic infraction. There are no exceptions to this policy.

What infractions do not qualify for deferral?
The Court does not allow deferral for the following infractions:

Passing a School Bus

Any infraction where a fatality occurred

Any infraction issued to a defendant who has a Commercial Driver's License
